1 Corinthians 8:8-13

MNT(i) 8 Now food does not bring us nearness to God. Neither if we eat do we gain any advantage, nor if we eat not, do we lose any. 9 But see to it lest this right of yours become a stumbling-block to the weak. 10 For if any one should see you, the possessor of "knowledge," reclining at table in an idol's temple, would not his conscience, if he were weak, be emboldened to eat things sacrificed to idols? 11 So he is lost, this weak man, lost by your "knowledge." this brother for whom Christ died. 12 In so sinning against your brothers, and in ever and again wounding their weak consciences, you are sinning against Christ. 13 Therefore, if what I eat makes my brother to stumble, I will never eat meat again, lest I make my brother to stumble.
